He slowly lowered his head, looking incredulously at the location of his heart on his left chest.
A dark silver, jagged blade tip, covered in reverse lines, was slowly emerging from his heart...
The cold blade, imbued with the aura of annihilating all laws, mercilessly pierced his heart, severing all his life force and source of power.
Time seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
Huo Yuhao could even feel that the murderous blade called Inverted Spear of Heaven was greedily sucking the last bit of warmth from his Life, domineeringly dissipating all the remaining Soul Power and Spiritual Power within his body.
He turned his head slowly and laboriously.
Behind him was Toji Er's face, so close, etched with wildness and indifference.
In those beast-like eyes, there was no joy of victory, only the calm of a completed hunt, and a hint of lingering regret that the battle was finally over.
"You..."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but blood gushed out like a spring, silencing his words.
The light in his eyes flickered and faded quickly, like a candle dying in the wind.
This time, he didn't have time to transfer his heart energy, nor did he have time to unleash his Spiritual Power to push the other person away...
The Inverted Spear of Heaven, completely severing all his chances of survival.
The moment the cold blade pierced through his heart, Huo Yuhao felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body. The excruciating pain and extreme weakness overwhelmed his consciousness like a cold tide.
He could clearly feel that the essence of his Life was rapidly draining away as his heart ruptured, and that strange short blade was like a greedy black hole, frantically devouring his vitality and strength.
"No, it can't end like this..."
A sense of resentment and madness, originating from the depths of his soul, erupted like the last spark in the dying embers of Life.
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted due to the excruciating pain and his extreme willpower. His hands, stained with his own blood, suddenly unleashed their last strength, gripping the blade of the Inverted Spear of Heaven that had pierced his chest with desperate, reckless force.
The sharp, reversed lines instantly cut his palm, drawing blood, but he seemed to feel no pain.
He used up all his remaining God Level Spiritual Power to try to imprison the murderous blade, and even tried to pull it out of his body.
"Sucker Punch."
Toji cold voice rang in his ear, tinged with a hint of impatient mockery.
His beast-like eyes held no pity, only indifference to the prey's final resistance.
With a sudden burst of strength, he gripped the knife handle and pulled it downwards with all his might.
"Sizzle--"
A chilling sound, like the tearing of thick leather.
The dark silver blade of the Inverted Spear of Heaven, covered with inverted patterns, sliced downwards without resistance and with utter cruelty in Huo Yuhao's tightly clenched hands, like a hot knife cutting through butter.
Starting from the heart area, proceed downwards.
sternum, ribs, internal organs, muscles...
All organizations that stood in the way of the blade were easily annihilated and torn apart like illusory bubbles before that domineering and unparalleled heaven-defying law.
A massive gash, deep enough to expose bone and even reveal fragments of internal organs, stretched from the chest all the way to the lower abdomen, and was brutally ripped open.
Scalding hot blood mixed with shattered internal organs gushed out like a flood bursting its banks.
Huo Yuhao let out a bloodcurdling scream that was inhuman and extremely shrill.
The world before my eyes was instantly swallowed up by boundless darkness and excruciating pain.
My control over my body is rapidly disappearing.
He wanted to unleash his God Level Spiritual Power for a final counterattack, even if it meant mutual destruction!
However, Toji's figure disappeared before his eyes.
That final, concentrated Spiritual Shock struck empty air.
Immediately afterwards, excruciating pain, like a barrage of ice picks, pierced his legs.
The emerald green tip of the Blade of Life's Watch, like the most venomous bee sting, pierced and with unparalleled precision into Huo Yuhao's legs.
Each puncture precisely penetrates the tendon and severs the nerve.
The emerald green blade greedily absorbed life force, amplifying its destructive power to the extreme.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao's legs were covered with countless deep, bone-revealing holes, as if they had been ravaged by countless poisonous bees.
All support and all ability to act were completely and cruelly destroyed.
"Thump!"
Huo Yuhao could no longer stand; his legs felt like soft mud without any bones, and he collapsed heavily to his knees on the cold, scorched earth soaked with his own blood.
The intense pain caused his body to convulse violently, and his consciousness swirled between excruciating pain and dizziness from blood loss.
"Dance, Tong..."
He uttered muffled, hoarse syllables filled with endless pain and longing from his throat. His only remaining left hand instinctively rose, as if trying to grasp something, or perhaps making a final stand.
However, what greeted him as he raised his left hand was the broad and menacing Soul Liberation Blade, Entanglement with the wailing of endless vengeful spirits.
A flash of dark red light appeared.
"Whoosh."
A streak of blood shot through the air.
Huo Yuhao's raised left arm, along with his hand, was severed at the shoulder.
The severed arm, dripping with gushing blood, fell helplessly to the ground.
The heart-wrenching screams abruptly ceased.
This time, it wasn't just the excruciating physical pain.
The Soul Liberation Blade's ferocious power, targeting the soul, pierced deep into Huo Yuhao's soul like a red-hot steel needle.
That soul, already fragile from the loss of Life, was like glass struck by a heavy hammer, instantly becoming covered in cracks.
The pain from the severe blow to his soul far exceeded the torment of his body, leaving him completely devoid of the strength to scream, with only his body convulsing violently and unconsciously.
The excruciating pain and despair completely overwhelmed him. His remaining consciousness was like a candle flickering in the wind, and he could only instinctively and weakly struggle with his bare left shoulder, which was still gushing blood.
Toji his eyes showed no emotion, only an indifference as if he were completing a precise task.
The Soul Liberation Blade was raised once more, its dark red light resembling the scythe of death.
"Whoosh--"
Another flash of blood.
Huo Yuhao's only remaining right arm was also severed cleanly.
Large amounts of blood gushed out like a fountain from the wounds on the two severed arms.
Huo Yuhao's body was like a broken doll that had been completely dismantled. Without the support of all four limbs, only his torso and head remained. He fell forward weakly and heavily, completely limp in the thick and glaring pool of blood formed by his own blood.
He had been reduced to a completely emaciated human stump.
Consciousness rapidly blurred and dissipated amidst excruciating pain and blood loss.
My vision was completely shrouded in darkness, with only the gurgling sound of my own blood flowing in my ears, and... the increasingly distant and indistinct clamor of the battlefield.
Toji looked at the mangled body lying in the pool of blood, devoid of all resistance and with only faint signs of Life remaining, and finally a cruel, sinister smile appeared on his face.
It was as if they were admiring their own most perfect work.
